16 Dec
Summary
- Veteran journalist suggests Half-Life 3 is a Steam Machine launch title.
- New sources indicate a potential spring 2026 release window.
- Game's reality is confirmed, release is 'when,' not 'if'.
Speculation surrounding the release of Half-Life 3 has resurfaced, with veteran journalist Mike Straw asserting that the game is slated for a spring 2026 launch. Straw’s sources, described as reliable and consistent, suggest Half-Life 3 will be a launch title for the Steam Machine. This comes after initial rumors at the beginning of 2025 failed to materialize, leading to fan anticipation.
While Straw acknowledges past unreliability with specific dates, his current information points to a firm 'spring 2026' window, coinciding with the planned release of Valve's hardware. The game’s development is reportedly advanced, though potential delays are not entirely ruled out due to component price fluctuations impacting hardware plans.
Despite the lingering uncertainties and Valve's silence, Straw remains confident that Half-Life 3 is indeed real and its release is inevitable. The focus has shifted from a potential 'if' to a definite 'when,' signaling a potentially significant announcement from Valve in the near future.
